What is Art Day Studio?

Art Day Studio is a premium, nature-themed fine art program offering 36 professional video masterclasses designed to bridge the gap between hobbyist and skilled creator for ages 11–14.

Students master essential drawing and painting techniques alongside Jessica, creating a comprehensive collection of work through one real-time lesson for every week of the school year.

Who is the Art Day Studio for?

  • Art Day Studio invites homeschooled middle schoolers ages 11-14 to explore the natural world while elevating the technical skills needed to bring their art to life through a deeper focus on proportions, values, and color.

The Element Detective™: A Proprietary Signature Method

Beyond "Paint-by-Numbers": Developing the Artist’s Eye

Most art programs focus only on the doing. At the Art Day Studio level, we also focus on the seeing.

The Element Detective™: A Proprietary Signature Method

Every single Middle School lesson begins with The Element Detective™—an exclusive, proprietary segment created by Miss Jessica to bridge the gap between amateur drawing and professional artistry.

Before the brush ever touches the paper, students join Miss Jessica in a "visual investigation" of our subject matter. Using dynamic visual mapping, Jessica deconstructs professional nature photography to reveal the "hidden" architecture of art:

  • Cracking the Code: We identify how the Elements of Art (Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture, Form, and Space) are working together in the real world.
  • Visual Literacy: Students learn to translate a complex 3D world into a 2D masterpiece—a skill essential for realistic drawing and painting.
  • The Universal Language: By the end of the year, your student won't just be following a tutorial; they will be fluently "speaking" the language of art.

"I developed The Element Detective™ because I believe that once a student learns how to truly see the world through the lens of the Elements, they gain the confidence to create anything they can imagine. This isn't just a lesson; it's a new way of looking at life."

— Miss Jessica

Are you tired of...

  • 🎨 "Fluff" projects and generic crafts that don't actually teach your child how to draw or paint?

  • 🔍 Scouring the internet for hours trying to find quality projects that actually work (and don't require a trip to three different stores)?

  • 🚗 Losing your afternoons to traffic and the "taxi driver" life just to get them to a local art studio?

  • 😟 The "Educational Guilt" of knowing your kids crave art, but feeling like you just don't have the time or the "artist genes" to teach it yourself?

  • You don’t have to do this alone. I’ve been there, and I have your back! ✨

If they can follow a story, they can create a masterpiece.

Many parents see our student gallery and think, "My child could never do that." But the truth is, your child doesn't lack talent—they just haven't been told the right story yet.

In Art Day Studio, I take the "mystery" out of art by turning every lesson into a guided journey. Just like following a favorite picture book, I lead your child through the process one "chapter" at a time. We don’t just "draw a bunny"—we follow the lines and shapes as the character comes to life on the page.

By following along with me, one simple step at a time, your child builds something they never thought possible. The result? Artwork so high-quality, you’ll do a double-take—surprised by what your 12-year-old was truly capable of creating. I don’t just teach art; I teach your child how to be an artist.

Meet Your Instructor

Jessica Lannine (Founder and Art Instructor)

Hi, I’m Jessica. I know firsthand that homeschooling is about finding the right tools to spark lifelong curiosity. With a BFA in Art and 5+ years of experience as a certified K-12 art teacher, I’ve helped thousands of students see the world through an artist’s eyes.

My most rewarding work has been homeschooling my own two children for their entire education. This June, my daughter graduates as an award-winning artist—a milestone that proves what is possible with the right artistic foundation.

I created Art Day Studio because you deserve lessons that go deeper than "busy work." I provide a clear framework that celebrates the natural world and removes the overwhelm, making art the absolute highlight of your homeschool week.
Jessica says,

Fine Art Skills. Zero Lesson Planning.

A student and his mom followed my real-time video to create these fish—here’s how it works...

Delegate your art instruction to a professional. As a selling artist (BFA), a former school art teacher, and a veteran homeschool mom who is graduating one of my own children this spring, I’ve designed these lessons to take the pressure off you. You get to bring a specialist into your home while your student builds real confidence.

  • Real-Time Mentorship: I paint every stroke on camera. Your student simply hits "play" and creates alongside a professional artist from start to finish.

  • Classroom-Tested Methods: I use the same proven techniques from my years in the classroom to ensure middle schoolers stay engaged and successful.

  • The Optional Connection: My videos handle the "heavy lifting" of teaching. If you decide to pick up a brush and join your student, you get to be a fellow creator—not the instructor.

Give your middle schooler an art education backed by a professional artist, a classroom expert, and a fellow homeschool veteran.
